To allow simplification of the operating mechanism for automatic charging of auxiliary material, thus enabling compactization/simplification of the automatic bread making machine as well as increased readiness of its cleaning. An auxiliary material accommodating container detachably attachable to an automatic bread making machine. The container includes a base body, a first accommodating section, a second accommodating section, a first opening/closing member (a lid memberand a frame member) and a second opening/closing member (a yeast lid member). The first accommodating sectionand the second accommodating sectionaccommodate auxiliary materials to be charged to bread. The first opening/closing member is pivotable relative to the base bodyabout a pivot axis G to open/close the first accommodating section. The second opening/closing member is pivotable relative to the base bodyabout the pivot axis G to open/close the second accommodating section

Auxiliary material accommodating container and automatic bread making machine

A coffee beans grinder includes a main body, a dispensing component, a blade unit for grinding coffee beans having a first blade element and a second blade element facing the first blade element, and a dispensing element provided in the dispensing component for feeding coffee beans to a grinding space defined between the first blade element and the second blade element. The first blade element is provided in the main body, and the second blade element is provided in the dispensing component. The dispensing component is removably attached to the main body with a manually-operable engagement element. The second blade element faces the first blade element to define the grinding space therebetween with the dispensing component being attached to the main body with the manually-operable engagement element.
